[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

Zuo Xi promises to help, but she is the one who sets the rules of the game.What kind of opportunity is an opportunity and what kind of opportunity is not an opportunity is naturally Zuo Xi's final decision.Besides, how to help, what kind of help, and how much help is in Zuo Xi's hands.

To give a simple example, when Hyundai conducts sales promotions, it always says buy one get one free.But this kind of buy one get one free is usually not a gift of whatever you buy.Most of them buy a pair of shoes and give you a pair of insoles.Of course, there are more excessive things, such as buying a pair of socks and giving you a song sung by the boss on the spot... These are also gifts, aren't they?In short, although Zuo Xi can't do anything too rascal, there is still room for maneuver in this matter.

After taking a sip of the tea that he had been drinking for a long time, Zuo Xi had to admit that the Rongguo Mansion had really fallen, and her mouth had also been spoiled.

I think back then she couldn't drink any good tea or bad tea, even in the first two years when she came here, she couldn't drink any kind of tea. Now she drinks the tea served by Rongqingtang, and she can pick out the quality and staleness, which is also true. A kind of reverse progress has been made.

Drinking tea calmly, Zuo Xi was not at all worried that his proposal would be rejected.A pair of eyes glanced at Li Wan calmly, and then fell on Mrs. Xing.

She is in charge of the Lin family's affairs. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang are not stupid. She has an attitude of courtesy first and then soldiers. Idiots know how to choose between obediently eating the sweet dates she gives or eating her slap.The most important thing is that neither of them dared to bet Baoyu's life and future on her determination to manage this matter.Li Wan doesn't have to worry, she will surrender to Zuo Xi for Jia Lan's future.So after counting all the games, only Mrs. Xing made Zuo Xi unsure the most.

Just like the persona she set up recently, apart from the slight discrepancy between Mrs. Xing and Zuo Xi in terms of gold and silver, there are some conflicts in other places.

From the point of view of Mrs. Xing and Dafang, Zuo Xi's proposal didn't benefit them at all.It's not like Erfang who is afraid of rats, and will be timid.However, Zuo Xi glanced at Jia Mu, and was not going to make any promises or give any benefits to the big house.

She only considers the Rongguo Mansion as a whole, and only blames Baoyu and Jialan, the nephew and uncle, for any mistakes.With her attitude, Mrs. Jia Muwang and Li Wan both knew how to tell Da Fang to be better.

Zuo Xi's proposal was not only attractive, but also gave Rongguo Mansion a light.The Rongguo Mansion, which was lifeless and could not find a way out, once again saw the hope of climbing up.Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, and her mind was full of the various expenses of the Lin family in order to keep Lin Ruhai's life alive and Daiyu, who was getting more and more alienated from the Rongguo Mansion.

Even if it is a beautiful face, if there is a rift with the Rongguo Mansion, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for the Rongguo Mansion.If Daiyu is really sent to the rich and powerful family, Daiyu hates them so much, can she not take revenge on them?Just blowing on the pillow during the meeting is enough for them to drink a pot.If you add the Eleven Fujin in front of you, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly made a decision that satisfies Zuo Xi, and at the same time, they also want to get some interest now.

This is to guard against Zuo Xi's empty glove white wolf.

"The old lady and my aunt both said that, so I have to show some sincerity." Hearing this, Zuo Xi pretended to be thinking, but his heart had already turned several times.After a while, he smiled at Mother Jia and the others: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Before the opportunity comes, we can't just do nothing and wait.

That's all for Brother Bao, it's not long since what happened to him, maybe there are still rebels guarding in the dark.Now might as well stay at home and avoid the limelight.Lang Ge'er is half a child now, and I have heard people say what kind of family studies.It's not that I said that a good ethnology has become a place where filth is hidden, and it really doesn't look like it. I think we might as well send Jia Lan'er to study. What does the sister-in-law think? "

Zuo Xi skipped Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in the last sentence, and asked Li Wan directly, also with a little caution.What Li Wan cares about most is Jia Lan. Originally, because Baoyu affected Jia Lan's future, Li Wan hated this careless uncle so much that his teeth ached.Although she also did some tricks in private, but those tricks have not been revealed yet, so Yu Li Wan also said that she is still a little puzzled.Hearing what Zuo Xi said now, he hurriedly asked Zuo Xi how he could arrange Jia Lan.

Zuo Xi thought of what Eleven had told her about a certain school in Shandong that first taught students the rules for three years and then taught poetry and books the imperial examination when they were chatting with Shiyi.Teach the rules as the truth, and the students taught will be rules-based people until their death. Zuo Xi suppressed his smile, and said to Li Wan and others with a serious look: "Shandong Qufu is the hometown of the first sages. Schools run by people are praised for their orthodoxy today. The students who come out are all well-behaved and have a solid foundation. It’s just that tens of thousands of people pass the single-plank bridge in the imperial examination. There are also various competitions when sending officials for promotion. You may have gone to pay our respects to our empress a few days ago, or you may have heard about something..."

There are many contradictions between western science and some traditional Chinese sayings, but aside from these, people are very interested in western mathematics, astronomy and other knowledge today.The prince's elder brother also has many people who have learned superficial knowledge in this area under his influence.The Western concepts accepted by the Qing Dynasty were all brought by Westerners, and only they themselves know whether they are right or not.On that day, Zuo Xi and Shi Shi went to Changchun Garden to say hello, Qingxi Bookstore, who went to see Jinjin on Shiyi, and Ruijingxuan, where Zuo Xi went, paid hello to the two mothers-in-law.

Master Jiu proposed to send some smart people to the West to systematically study Western knowledge, and then bring back all kinds of books and materials from the West, so as to save those missionaries from the West from fooling people.

If this is a half-bad guy who is not satisfied with a bottle, it is not a misleading child.

Today, he is still a little arrogant and conceited. Although he is curious about and recognizes Western knowledge, he believes that the Qing Dynasty is a model for all nations to learn from.Therefore, the proposal to Master Jiu was shelved on the surface, but it was hinted to Master Jiu.

You send someone there yourself, don't say that I asked you to do it.

Master Jiu got the order and only recruited people with lofty ideals to study in the West in his own name, and he also said that he would cover all the expenses.

When Master Jiu went to pay respects to Sister Yifei, he picked out what he could say, and even asked Sister Yifei to think about if there was anything she wanted, so that someone could bring it back.

When Zuo Xi went, he happened to catch up with Yifei and sisters talking about this matter. The two of them originally wanted to ask their youngest son and daughter-in-law to think about what they wanted, but Zuo Xi thought of going to study abroad on official school.

Oh, it's not called official school nowadays.

"...If you want to be irreplaceable, at least you must 'what others have, what others have'. I vaguely remember that Lang Geer learned painting from his fourth sister for a while when he was young. If he can learn Western painting well, Coming back is also a way out." Zuo Xi knew that even a stone in Rongguo Mansion had a gossip mouth, so he only picked what he could say and told everyone in the room to listen. "If the sister-in-law has made up her mind, she will send someone to talk to me. There is no need for the sister-in-law to be too anxious about going to the foreigner's country. It will not start until after the New Year. There is only one thing, let's talk about it first. There is peace and stability." Safe and comfortable, adventure also has the benefits of adventure. When you go abroad, no one knows what is going on outside. There are countless risks in sailing on the sea, and if there is any accident, I will be beyond my control."

If Zuo Xi was to choose, she would prefer to study abroad.Zuo Xi is soft-hearted and feels childish and innocent, so he wants to find a way out for Jia Lan.Jialan has Baoyu as his uncle, so the possibility of becoming an official through the imperial examination is already very low.But Lao Kangtou likes Western paintings, and the future fourth master is also a serious copy lover. If Jia Lan draws well, when he has learned something, maybe he can draw a few more pictures of fighting tigers for the fourth master Woolen cloth.

Jia Lan's personal conditions are far from Jiuye's recruitment criteria, so if Li Wan chooses to send Jia Lan to study abroad, then Zuo Xi has to pay for the study abroad expenses out of his own pocket.

In fact, apart from Jia Lan, Zuo Xi also sent someone to find a few children from a family of traditional Chinese medicine who followed Master Jiu's boat to learn western medicine.

Maybe after the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, her and Shiyi's stubborn illnesses can be cured.

……

Just like hanging a mandarin duck with his future, Li Wan would not let the Rongguo Mansion violate Zuo Xi's taboo for the sake of Jia Lan.Moreover, Zuo Xi's pen pal, who heard that he had become an official, once told Zuo Xi that he did not worry about scarcity but inequality.As long as she breaks the balance of interests of Rongguo Mansion, she doesn't need to worry about the rest.Although Zuo Xi, who has been taught by a private teacher, is not yet able to use various methods freely, he has already begun to see the way.

Having said everything that could be said, and handing over the choice to Li Wan and the others, Zuo Xi got up and left on the grounds that he had other important matters.

Li Wan sent Zuo Xi to the second gate all the way, and then returned to Rongqing Hall with a heavy heart.The future of her son is very important, she has to think carefully about where to go.

On the other side, Jia Lian, who had already learned the news from Second Sister You, waited schemingly on the only way out of the mansion.

Seeing the Baylor Mansion-sized carriage slowly approaching, Jia Lian threw off his robe and knelt on the ground. "Boy Jia Lian pays respects to Fujin."

Zuo Xi heard the words and stopped the carriage.Lifting the curtains of the car, he looked condescendingly at Jia Lian who was kneeling below.

The official who donated is gone, his wife and children are gone, and after marrying a notorious woman, because of Baoyu, he lost his status as the heir to Rongguo Mansion, which was already in jeopardy. up.

Zuo Xi said lightly, then looked at Jia Lian who stood up and said mockingly: "Sister Feng is not here, so I don't know what to call you."

In the past, because of the relationship with Sister Feng, Zuo Xi could call Jia Lian brother-in-law.Even if you don't call brother-in-law, you can call him "Second Master Lian" instead.But now Jia Lian is a commoner, but she is the prince Fujin.There are not many people who can call her a master.

Besides, if she dares to call out, does Jia Lian dare to respond?

Of course, Jia Lian also heard about Zuo Xi's shamelessness and undisguised dislike for him, but thinking of the current situation, Jia Lian had no choice but to play tricks. "Fu Jin is a noble person, you can call him Lian Er, you think highly of him."

".Oh."

When Zuo Xi heard that there was nothing to do, Zuo Xi let out an oh, and then stopped talking.Jia Lian waited for a long time to see that Zuo Xi really had nothing to say to him, so he bit the bullet and greeted Eleven and everyone in the Xue family for their well-being, and then asked Zuo Xi if he had something to do when he came to Rongguo Mansion. His services are not needed.

"Lian Er, didn't you forget that Sister Feng is my direct cousin? Ben Fujin has always remembered what happened earlier. I didn't look for you, and you came out by yourself." Zuo Xi snorted coldly, contemptuously Disdainfully said to Jia Lian: "Oh, guess if Master Shishi hadn't stopped me, I would have let someone cut you piece by piece?"

Jia Lian didn't expect Zuo Xi to speak so impolitely, and wanted to defend himself in a moment of impatience, "I, I, I,"

"Aren't you just thinking about the evidence in Ben Fujin's hand, and want to use Ben Fujin's hand to overthrow the second room?" Zuo Xi interrupted Jia Lian's unspoken sophistry, took a last look at Jia Lian, and said ruthlessly: "Don't do it again." It's time to challenge Ben Fujin's few patience, in the land of the capital, how many people will not die or disappear someday."

After Zuo Xi finished speaking, he put down the curtain of the carriage. Seeing this, Yun Jin, who was in the same carriage, yelled out, and the carriage continued to move forward. Jia Lian, who was frightened by Zuo Xi's harsh words, no longer dared to stop him, and could only watch helplessly. Zuo Xi's car drove away.

Leaving Rongguo Mansion, Zuo Xi thought for a while and didn't go back to Lin's house, but asked Yun Cheng to go to Lin's house and tell Daiyu and Miaoyu what happened in Rongguo Mansion today, while she went back to Eleven Baylor Mansion.

It's been a long time since I came back, but the Fuchu still hasn't changed much.After washing up and changing into homely clothes, Zuo Xi personally wrote four flower viewing posts and asked people to send them to the fifth, ninth, fourth, and thirteenth houses respectively for the four Fujins, inviting them to come to this flower viewing party in the future .

After a lot of ink grinding, Zuo Xi wrote a letter to Shiyi, and asked someone to send it to Xiaotangshan quickly.

I didn't write anything, but it was the first time we separated after marriage, just for fun.

At night, sleeping alone on the big bed that was her dowry, Zuo Xi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.Thinking that she hadn't returned to the small apartment since she got married to Shiyi, Zuo Xi, who couldn't sleep, went straight back to the small apartment.

I haven't come in for several months, and there is not much dust accumulated in the small apartment.After tidying up briefly, Zuo Xi glanced at the anti-theft door, patted his forehead lightly, scolded himself with a little complacency, and ran over to open the anti-theft door.

As soon as the door opened, Zuo Xi was almost submerged by the mountain of paper balls.

Good guy, why are there so many?

Talk about reincarnation.

Go to the bathroom and take out the cloth basket where the dirty clothes are placed, then lower your head to pick up the paper balls.Zuo Xi picked up three full baskets before picking up all the paper balls.

Instead of opening the balls of paper in the living room on the first floor or at the dining table on the first floor as usual, and replying to her pen pal, Zuo Xi took all the balls of paper to the study on the second floor, and spread all the balls of paper one by one. open.There is no date or time on the ball of paper, and most of them are poems recording his feelings and asking Zuo Xi why he didn't reply to his messages.

Put those poems and words together, clamp them with staple clips, and put them aside alone.Zuo Xi flipped through dozens of pages and asked her why she got married and got a missing person's note, then picked up a pen and wrote on one of them: "There are four great joys in life, why not celebrate them properly." '

After putting away all the other notes, Zuo Xi took the note that she wrote the reply to and went to the door.After that, I sat at the dining table with a pen, mobile phone and other things, waiting for the reply to the ball of paper, while playing with the mobile phone.

Every time I get a mobile phone, it is inevitable to take a selfie.

The kind of beauty plus filter.

After taking the picture, I retouched the picture. When Zuo Xixiu got to the second picture, I finally got a reply from my pen pal.

'It's the end of the celebration, so you're free to talk to me today? '

'For the time being. '

After that, Zuo Xi briefly told the other party what happened to the Lin family and the Rongguo Mansion today. After the other party listened to it, he replied again that Zuo Xi was too soft-hearted, and that the servant who betrayed the master should kill the police monkey.He also said that Zuo Xi's treatment of Rongguo Mansion seemed to be full of scheming and calculations on the surface, but in fact he was merciful.

'When people are alive, there are always things and people they don't like.Is it because I can't get used to it, so I don't let people live?I have my own bottom line to keep, and I don't want to become unrecognizable one day, and I don't even know myself. '

After throwing this text out for a while, Zuo Xi received another reply.

'Forget it.You are not alone now, if there is any embarrassing thing, you can let your husband deal with it. '

'Coincidentally, I thought so too. '

You came and I chatted for more than half an hour, Zuo Xi yawned and chatted with the opposite party to end today's communication.Afterwards, he closed the anti-theft door, tidied up the small apartment briefly, and went out.

Zuo Xi, who was nestled in the warm quilt, didn't know that at Xiaotangshan Bieyuan, after the last reply note was destroyed on the eleventh day, he glanced at the "dresser" he put in the corner of the study with a half-smile. box'.

At the beginning, Zuo Xi had said with certainty that she collected the paper balls through the dressing box.After getting married, Eleven specially asked someone to bring the dressing box to Eleven Baylor Mansion, and later brought them here as they moved to Xiaotangshan.

He wrote a lot of paper balls to Zuo Xi, and opened the dressing box from time to time when Zuo Xi was not paying attention.It has been several months, and there is nothing in it, and the paper ball he sent out has also disappeared, and there is no news.

Eleven thought that Zuo Xi would not chat with her pen pals after getting married.I don't want to receive a reply from Zuo Xi just when Eleventh put this matter behind me.

Little liar, lied to him again.

Although he knew that the dressing box was useless, Eleven cautiously put the dressing box into the dark room.Then he wrote a tea talk letter and asked someone to send it to Zuo Xi after dawn.

On the first day Fujin was away, I missed her...

The author has something to say: After the booster injection, I don't know whether it is really painful and sleepy, or it is a psychological effect, which is hypocritical.Anyway, the author really slept for a long time.
